Question 1147474: The position of a particle moving along the 𝑥-axis is given by
𝑠(𝑡)=5+3t^2-2t^3 meters for 𝑡 ≥ 0 seconds.
A) Find the initial position, 𝑡 = 0, of the particle.
B) Find the displacement for 1 ≤ 𝑡 ≤ 3.
C) Find the average velocity for 1 ≤ 𝑡 ≤ 3.
D) Find the velocity at 𝑡 =2 seconds. Find the speed of the particle at 𝑡 = 2 seconds. Is the ball moving forward or backward at 𝑡 = 2 seconds? Justify.

The position of a particle moving along the 𝑥-axis is given by
𝑠(𝑡)=5+3t^2-2t^3 meters for 𝑡 ≥ 0 seconds.
A) Find the initial position, 𝑡 = 0, of the particle.
Sub 0 for t. Is that not obvious?

Posting the same problem only does not increase your chances of getting help.
It does piss off the tutors.
